Flick is pleased to announce that the Flick the Switch Campaign Closing Ceremony, which took place in Rakvere, Estonia on the 21st May 2010, was a resounding success. The event was co-hosted by Flick the Switch consortium partners Rakvere Gümnaasium and Rakvere City Government. There were approximately 150 guests in attendance at the ceremony, including regional school representatives from all over Europe, Rakvere City’s Mayor and Vice Mayor, representatives from Flick the Switch project partners, the Councillor of the Ministry of Education, a representative from Tallinna Saksa Gümnaasium and the Project Manager of Eesti Energia. They were joined by students and teachers from host school Rakvere Gümnaasium.
The objective of this event was to mark the official closing of the Flick the Switch European-wide campaign and energy saving initiative, which ran from October 2009 to the end of April 2010, and to honour and award the most active and energy-conscious schools during this campaign. This excellent platform not only showcased the success of the campaign, but also offered all attendees a unique perspective on the Flick the Switch energy-saving messages combined with a display of Estonian culture and humour through inspiring performances from the students of Rakvere Gümnaasium. The student presence throughout the ceremony served as a reminder of the important role schools and their students play in saving energy and their desire for the Flick the Switch campaign message to continue being embraced in the future. What wonderfully talented students!
The life-size costume of Flick made a special guest appearance and was on hand to entertain and thrill the audience as can be seen from the video above.
Flick the Switch would like to congratulate all winning schools for their efforts and encourage them to continue to save energy. Flick the Switch would also like to thank Rakvere Gumnaasiun and Rakvere City Government for organising this memorable event and for providing a welcoming atmosphere and a unique taste of Estonian culture. Special mention should also go to the students of Rakvere Gümnaasium for their talented and highly entertaining performances during the ceremony.
